Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I try to limit my monthly food expenditures and the Fasta Pasta helps me work in at least one inexpensive pasta meal every week. If not more. First of all, I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big clean up afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap. No big pot; no colander; no spaghetti fork to lift out the pasta. Just the easy-to-clean Fasta Pasta, and a pot to heat up the sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" —Smilin Sam

Promising review: "Surprisingly easy to use! The most convenient juicing appliance I have ever had. Now when I'm lazy in the morning and don't wanna wash the juicer, I just blend some veggies and fruit in the cup and take it to work." —Jessie Cui

I, a certified Lazy Individual (TM), own one of these babies, and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years. Perfectly medium-boiled eggs every time. I even bought one for my parents so I could spread its majesty to them as well (but also mostly so I could use it when I come to visit, if we're being real). Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume!
Promising review: "Super easy to use, works as expected, small counter top footprint. I like hard-boiled eggs but am too lazy to make them. Now I am eating them as often as I like. All you gotta do is set it up with the water and eggs, then you can forget about it. No worries about water boiling over on the stove or overcooking the eggs because you took too long a shower or got distracted by a phone call." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Worth it. Especially for lazy people. I have used this so much. I mainly use it for bacon, salmon, veggies, sweet potato fries, and patties. The preprogrammed timers are perfect for each food item. I have never had to manually adjust it, it has the perfect timing. It’s easy to clean as well. Definitely got my penny’s worth." —Juan Martinez

Promising review: "I was surprised by how much I like this silicone jar spatula. The handle and scoop are sturdy so it doesn't bend or collapse when you are are digging in jars, cans, and containers. The tip does have a little give to help scoop all the cream soups, mayonnaise, and sauces that are left in large jars. It's long enough to keep your hands clean when scooping large jars. Bonus, it also makes rinsing the containers easy. I also wrapped it in plastic wrap (to keep it food-safe) and used it for the last bit of body butter. Worked for that, too. I didn't know how much I needed this in my life." —Brenda Williamson

Promising review: "This has worked exactly as advertised and as everyone reviewing it says. I can't believe how easy it is. Gotta be up there with the best $6 or $7 I've ever spent, because I'm eating pineapples all the time now instead of buying them and throwing them away in a week because I'm too lazy to cut them." —RR

Promising review: "Lazy people ... Buy this! I'm new to the whole avocado stuff ... I hated trying to get it out with a spoon, etc ... I ordered this bad boy and it works like a charm, even for a newbie like me! Price is right and it works great!" —S.A.

TBH, might not be a bad idea to get one for every room, in case of caffeine-related emergencies.
Promising review: "I love that I can use this single-serve machine whenever I want a cup of coffee or tea. That way it's fresh every time. I get super lazy sometimes so I actually have this set up in my room. I enjoy my coffee or cup of tea every morning without even needing to step foot in my kitchen. I get ready into the morning with it and just take the coffee cup down to the kitchen on the way out to go to work. It's really so convenient. It brews really quickly too!" —S.Kim

Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a life saver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens

Promising review: "Super glad I purchased this. So much easier and faster making pancakes. Much cleaner filling cupcakes. Easy to clean. Super easy to use. No issues with leaking. Has held up fine in the top rack of the dishwasher. Being that I’m lazy and hate dirtying extra dishes, I mix my batter directly in the dispenser." —Ams

Promising review: "I ordered these food containers to replace the original (cheap) containers that came with the lunch box I had ordered from Amazon as well. The glass contains seem very solid and sturdy. Obviously, they are heavier than plastic containers which people should have in mind if they buy them to put their kids' lunch in heavy glass containers into the already heavy backpack. The containers are easy to stack and even easier to clean, for lazy people like me, they are even dishwasher-safe. If you stack them, I wouldn't stack more than 3 just to be safe. They have the perfect size to fit your lunch in and since it is glass, you can directly prep your lunch in the oven in those containers or freeze if you prep more than a week at once. My porridge has not leaked in my backpack yet, so I'd say they are leak-proof." —Sharon N.

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews but felt I should for those trying to decide. I've timed this — less than 3 minutes to heat up the whole kettle. It takes 1.5 minutes to microwave a cup. There was zero loss in time/convenience and now I feel better about not drinking microwaved water just because I'm lazy and impatient. No plastic touches your water. I have yet to have to clean this yet but the instructions are labeled right on the kettle for more convenience. Super worth it and thinking of getting one for my office. Love it, you will too." —Joyce B.

Promising review: "This is so cool! I rarely make popcorn because I'm too lazy to dig out the pot and frankly clean it. The hotpot works perfectly, uses less or no oil, makes the perfect amount for one person, maybe two if you're not greedy. It cleans up with a rinse. Love it!" —Lori S.

Word to the wise — it'll also cook pizza and open-faced sandwiches. Infinite cheese toast = infinite possibilities.
Promising review: "I am very happy with this panini press. I was a little leery because of the low price but my worry was unfounded. The packaging was easy to open and easy to remove the press. The plates heat up fast and are easy to wipe off. I was feeling lazy one day do I used this to cook burgers. It worked very well. I think I'll even try a steak on it! Very happy I made this purchase!" —Iowagal4

You can also use these puppies to handle pans coming out of the oven, clean fruits and veggies, and wash your car. They've got the ~range~.
Promising review: "So I purchased a pair of sandal-mops a while back and it works great for lazy people like me, it got me thinking that I needed a pair of dishwashing gloves that have scrubs on it. I went online and WAH LAH ... found them! This glove definitely makes washing dishes more interesting. I found that they clean the pots and pans very nicely, while not so well for the smaller bowls and utensils. They are fairly thick but not overly heavy. I wish they come in different sizes because these are slightly big on me. But the grid inside the gloves does give you a better grip while you are doing the washing." —Michelle Yeung

Psst — this pressure cooker was also one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2019!
Promising review: This product it’s just so convenient and easy to use! I like to cook but not when I am alone (I get lazy), but this pressure cooker has saved my life from eating junk food to cooking delicious meals for myself again! I don’t have to be by the kitchen keeping and eye open that it wont catch on fire as the cooker is safe and it won’t burn my meals. It also has the option of keeping the food warm after it's cooked, which is super convenient for me as I always get caught up in something ending with a cold or reheated meal. Everybody can use it with ease and everything that comes out of it is delicious! I will keep experimenting with all of its 9 cooking features and trying the recipes they post on IG." —Jorchual G.

Promising review: "Already had one for myself and bought a second for a friend. I'm thinking of buying a third for the office! I have a cold brew set to make concentrate which is nice but takes 24+ hours. Sometimes I forget/run out/am lazy and you can literally brew hot coffee into this thing and have ice cold coffee about two minutes later. From hot brewed to so cold in less than two minutes that the coffee doesn't even melt ice in the glass." —Billy S.

Promising review: "This works perfectly and saves me a trip back to the microwave to warm up the last half of my coffee, tea or hot chocolate. I admit to being partially lazy, but who wants to drink half a mug of cold beverage when you're engrossed in the last chapter of a good book or the last 10 minutes of the game on television? The bottom of my ceramic gets very warm, so be mindful of that, but it's not a big issue." —SJaneH

Promising review: "I usually dislike single-purpose kitchen gadgets, but this one is worth it. I love breakfast sandwiches but they're often a bit of work to make. Not anymore. Follow the instructions properly, don't use raw meat, and this baby will churn out picture-perfect delicious breakfast sandwiches every time. You can switch up the meats, add some cheese, add seasoning, and use different types of bread (but they should be round). I've been happy with how easy it is to clean as well, since I'm pretty lazy about that sort of thing. You can wipe and rinse the top and bottom and pop the rings in the dishwasher, top rack." —mattpsyx

Promising review: "Dishwasher-safe, easy to use and clean. Love the plastic retractable cover for the stainless steel blade. All parts can be easily un-snapped and separated when placing in the dishwasher or just retract and drop in the dishwasher. Seems to clean up nicely either way — which is great when you have lazy teenagers in the house who like to eat frozen pizza late at night after everyone else is asleep." —Bryan Curtis

Promising review: "I have been trying to find a larger cover that would be the least difficult to store when not in use. I wasn't sure if this would fit in the recessed ceiling of our 20-year-old microwave, but the measurements said it would. But, magnets in the microwave?! I read the reviews and decided to go for it. It arrived quickly from the seller. It fits just fine, with room to spare. The magnets are strong enough to hold it in, and don't interfere with heating when in use. I never cook food longer than a few minutes, and if I did I would pull it off for a while. We have used it daily for a few months now and it hasn't warped, stained or retained smells. It covers food high enough that it doesn't need as much washing as the others I've had (I am a bit obsessive with cleaning). The sides go far enough down to the turntable that side-splatters don't get past, and the arches between the 'legs' are low while still giving air flow. I can also pick it up using the arched sides instead of the molded handle on top when I'm being lazy. This is an excellent cover!" —Emntnmama

Promising review: "My pork shoulder always tastes good, but I'm too lazy to pull or chop it properly. These claws really made short, pretty easy work of that job. I used them just as described: I put the meat on and took it off, cut off a portion, dug in, and started pulling. You can make your pieces as big or small as you like. Much easier than with a fork or knife. They just work. I think, after writing this, I'm going to go put a shoulder on right now." —Edwin C. Kebschull
